Information about OpenGolfAPI: dataset size, license, how to contribute, how to contact the maintainers. Useful when an AI agent or user wants to know who built this and how to reach them.
AI agents call about to retrieve information from OpenGolfAPI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays informational metadata about the API service itself. It has no capability to modify data, execute operations, or trigger external actions. It is a simple read-only query returning publicly available information about the service, making it the lowest risk category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it provides 'Information about OpenGolfAPI: dataset size, license, how to contribute, how to contact the maintainers.' The verbs 'Information about' and 'provide' indicate retrieval of static metadata with no modification or side…

Information about OpenGolfAPI: dataset size, license, how to contribute, how to contact the maintainers. Useful when an AI agent or user wants to know who built this and how to reach them. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenGolfAPI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OpenGolfAPI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for about: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches OpenGolfAPI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
about is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the about rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for about. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
about is provided by the OpenGolfAPI MCP Server MCP server (opengolfapi/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
